Although he didn't have the financial backing or tech savvy of his brother Les, Paul Paul was able to keep his shop open with investors such as Tiny Tim and Don Ho. Oh yeah,and Hasbro too.

There was just about universal love for this foot-stomper from John Denver.
John Denver had hit after hit in the mid 1970s, and this was one of them, goign all the way to #1 in 1975.
Go ahead, crank it up, sing it loud and proud. And maybe swing...

A silly novelty tune with a jump swing beat took the country by storm--at least parts of it--in early 1984.
A Chicago band called Jump 'N The Saddle scored a #15 with the Curly Shuffle...and it seems a lot of people have some pretty awesome...

It was almost a clean-sweep this morning for the synthesizer heavy "(Keep Feeling) Fascination") by the Human League. Everybody was in the mood for a little 80s fun!

Here's a song that inspired high-schoolers to act like 12-year-olds back in the late 1970's. The lyric "when you're in love with a beautiful woman, it's hard," was just so darn hilarious!!

Today was another busy day at Bonnaroo. We started the day off by seeing Shakey Graves. I missed his show in Madison earlier this year so he was a must see on my list. Loved him!
Right as he ended, a press conference with Ed Helms, Abigail...

Saturday was a very busy day! So many Triple M bands to see! So many concerts were back to back, so we did a lot of walking back and forth from the stages to the media compound. If you're ever in need of getting more steps in during the day,...
